Nostalgia Girls Red 2022
Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaA blend of 58% merlot, 33% syrah, 7% cabernet franc, and 2% malbec, mostly from their Home Vineyard, this lighter-bodied South Okanagan red blend features a playful label illustrated by San Diego-based artist Ralph Burch. The wine is packed with perfumed violet and lavender florals, juicy plum, and fresh herbs. Despite syrah being only a third of the blend, its character positively dominates the nose. Fruity and unpretentious, the palate offers vibrant acidity and soft tannins, with minimal oak allowing the pure fruit to shine through—a well-priced red blend for mid-week enjoyment.Tasted: 16 September 2024Tasted by: HJ ChaPrices:BC | $27.00 | 750ml | winery online/direct, select private retailers |
